Internet of Things for Sustainable Community Development: Wireless Communications, Sensing, and Systems

這本更新的書籍介紹了物聯網在塑造我們社區未來的角色。作者展示了研究和教育生態系統如何促進具有影響力的解決方案導向科學，以幫助公民、政府、工業和其他利益相關者共同合作，做出明智、負責任、以科學為基礎的決策。作者還提供了關於社區如何應對複雜、相互關聯的社會環境挑戰的最新數據。這本書討論了環境、氣候變化、礦業、能源、農業經濟、水資源和林業等領域的關鍵相關挑戰，這些挑戰限制了可持續和有彈性的社會發展，而這些挑戰都與基於物聯網的解決方案相關聯。
